Kerry J, Educational designer/Trainer at Australian Institute of Social RelationsThank you for such a polished, well executive, effective presentation. I've blogged about it http://www.brightcookie.com/2010/10/get-some-action-in-your-moodle/, Tweeted it and plan to include it as a resource for future Moodle users. Really love how you brought in the other educators and the way in which you did so. Well done! KerryJ, Brightcookie.com Educational Technologies2 years ago

Here are some handy
tips from teachers...
Create an Assignment
Ewa Rzepko – ESOL Lecturer
“ Assignments are an excellent
way of keeping track of
students’ homework and
progress.
It’s great way of providing
feedback and comments on the
learners’ activities.”
Ewa Rzepko – ESOL Lecturer
“ Online testing is tremendous for
practicing computer testing, for
immediate feedback and
paperless testing.
I like Quizzes because they
make it so easy to keep a record
of students’ results.”
Dorota Beata Matuszyk –
Initial assessment Coordinator
You have different types of questions: Multiple-choice,
Cloze embedded answers, Matching, Description,
Short answer, Essay, True/False, Calculated...
Create a Forum
Jane Conway - ESOL Tutor
“
Forum is a fun way of
communicating…
I always take pictures of what
we’ve been up to in class and
then students comment on them
and communicate with each
other in writing.
It’s very visual and immediate
for them and it’s good for their
language skills.”
Jane Conway - ESOL Tutor
Create a Chat
Ewa Rzepko – ESOL Lecturer
“ My students use Chats in the
classes to communicate
with each other in writing.
Chats also promote peer
tutoring.”
Ewa Rzepko – ESOL Lecturer
Create a Blog
Sandra Pires – E-Learning Lecturer
“Blogs are great to write projects,
reports, reflections and journals.”
Create a Choice
Jane Conway - ESOL Tutor
“ Recently we were organising
a trip, so I uploaded various
tourist attractions, and the
students went and read about
them.
Then we made a Choice activity
where students vote on the
attraction they’d like to visit.”
Jane Conway - ESOL Tutor
Create a Wiki
Sandra Pires – E-Learning Lecturer
“Wikis are exceptional for collaborative
writing – Study guides, glossaries, scripts,
group presentations...”
“Podcasting has an enormous impact on my students
as they are able to get extra practice outside the
classroom, and consequently their learning experience
is enhanced.”
Create or use videos
Elfi Diekmann – Business Lecturer
“ Videos keep your students
engaged.
It’s ideal for remote teaching,
reviewing in-class materials and
it’s specially handy for absent
students.”
Elfi Diekmann – Business Lecturer
“Embed dynamic content from YouTube,
Delicious, Facebook, Flickr...”
Add a SCORM LMS Learning Object
Create a pleasant
look and feelCaroline Allan – Graphic Design Lecturer
“ It’s very important that your
Moodle course looks more
user-friendly.
You can use images.
I normally distinguish each
course unit by using different
colours and detail.”
Caroline Allan–
Graphic Design Lecturer
